I believe that may strengths are customer focus ,achieving open communications, maintaining positive relationships, converting conflict and challenge into success, facilitating consensus and commitment, ensuring accountability, promoting progress and feedback, and expanding and adapting agile techniques for maximum effectiveness – all of the above while working with culturally diverse teams, since it is my believe that diversity is a strength.

I am a modeler of business processes using the process/workflow software to create process models which can be simulated, analyzed, and even executed directly by the business,helping the business executives in decision making by modeling/simulating “what-if” scenarios.

I am usually perform the following on any traditional software development project:

1. Scope the system.
Work with key project stakeholders and business people to formulate and communicate the business vision for the project, map out initial requirements and the scope of the project.

2. Interpret business Processes and needs.
work with project stakeholders to translate their requirements into something that developers can understand as well as to translate the resulting questions that the developers have into something the stakeholders can understand.

3. Translate technical issues.
Breaking down technical and architectural complexities so that project stakeholders can easily understand any issues that crop up. Explain what the developers are doing and why they need to do it, including explanations.

4. Spell out the project details and requirements.
work with project stakeholders to identify, model and then document their requirements and business domain details.

5. Test and validation.
Work with project stakeholders to validate their requirements and analysis models via techniques such as reviews, walkthroughs and play acting,writing user acceptance test (UAT) cases and be a liaison between project stakeholders and testing team during UAT.

6. Represent project stakeholders throughout the process.
the developers treat the BSA as the 'customer' from which requirements, domain information and business priorities are provided. The BSA, in turn, will work with the stakeholders to obtain information and to verify decisions.

“Sally Is professional and skilled individual and I am really impressed with her work. She also has a good personality and easy to work with. However, her expectation of the size of the job and my expectation were not really in sync. I guess the deliverable and number of revisions were not agreed upon in advance which is probably my mistake. I still recommend to hire her provided you know exactly what you want and agree on deliverable in advance. Other wise, hourly rate is probably a better option.”
